Atlanta rapper Killer Mike was a guest on CNN Wednesday, August 20. More than most, Mike understands what police officers go through on a daily basis because his father was a cop.

During his conversation with Brooke Baldwin, Mike discussed the changes he sees within police departments across the country.

"The culture of policing is changing. It's becoming more militarized," Mike said. "They're getting old military weapons. They're using kids that are fresh out of the military and using military tactics. We have essentially gone from being policed by people from the communities to communities that are policed by strangers. That's no longer a community. That's an area that's under siege."

Mike went on to talk about why the shooting of Michael Brown by Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson has become such a hot topic, as opposed to other police involved killings.

"This seems very gratuitous," he explained. "There's no gun found on the child. If there weren't any burns or gun powder [residue] it says that they weren't in close proximity. My grandfather taught me if it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, there's probably a duck behind that bush. The consciousness of this country does not agree with this shooting. I don't think it agreed with Sean Bell, I don't think it agreed with Amadou Diallo, I don't think it agreed with Eric Garner. I don't that that it agreed, but this is a child. This was a college bound child. This was a child that had done childish stuff. Children shoplift, children act like gangsters and robbers. Children do stupid stuff, but no one could go to bed at the night of finding out [about] this young man's murder, comfortable that a child had been shot up to or more than six times in a defensive position. If this police officer is not arrested what immediately might happen is some rioting. I'm afraid for all Americans. I'm not just afraid for black Americans."
